A batch mixer comprises a mixing drum rotatable about a longitudinal axis extending between an inlet opening and a discharge opening at opposing ends of the drum. Mixing members and transfer members supported in the drum mix the material when rotated in a first direction and transfer the material to the discharge opening when rotated in an opposing direction. An inlet chute for charging t he drum and a discharge chute for emptying the drum communicate with the inlet openi ng and the discharge opening respectively. The inlet chute pivots relative to the drum about a vertical axis from a charging position in communication with the inlet openi ng to an access position in which the inlet opening is unobstructed by the inlet chut e. The inlet end wall locating the inlet opening therein is removable for greater access.
